After doing this they returned to the

and in some way went overboard. The
other matt was sitting in the stern of the
boat and sprang to the assistance of his
companion. The force of his leap carried
him also overboard and he was drowned.
The Jones Towing Company, at the sug
gestion of Dr. Cliff, made an attempt to
retover the bodies, but were unsuccess
ful. The names of the two men are un
